Abstract

In this paper we consider a general class of linear positive processes of integral type. These operators act on functions defined on unbounded interval. Among the particular cases included are Durrmeyer–Jain operators, Păltănea–Szász–Mirakjan operators and operators using Baskakov–Szász type bases. We focus on highlighting some approximation targeting different classes of functions. The main working tools are Bohman–Korovkin theorem, weighted K-functionals and moduli of smoothness.

1. Introduction

On the last five decades the interest of the study of positive approximation processes have emerged with growing evidence. In what follows we consider linear positive operators which approximate real valued functions defined on the unbounded interval $ℝ_{+} = [0, \infty)$ . Among them, a special attention has been paid to operators which reproduce affine functions. Due to the linearity of the operators, this property is implied by the preservation of the test functions $e_{0}$ and $e_{1}$ . Set $e_{j}$ , $j \in ℕ_{0} = {0} \cup ℕ$ , the monomial of degree $j$ . The starting point is given by discrete operators of the following form

(L_{n} f) (x) = \sum_{k = 0}^{\infty} λ_{n, k} (x) f (x_{n, k}), n \in ℕ, x \in ℝ_{+},

(1.1)

verifying the conditions

\sum_{k = 0}^{\infty} λ_{n, k} = e_{0},

(1.2)

\sum_{k = 0}^{\infty} x_{n, k} λ_{n, k} = e_{1},

(1.3)

where $λ_{n, k}$ is a continuous function defined on $ℝ_{+}$ with non-negative real values for each $k \in ℕ_{0}$ , ${(x_{n, k})}_{k \geq 0}$ represents a net on $ℝ_{+}$ $(0 = x_{n, 0} < x_{n, 1} < \dots)$ and function $f$ is chosen such that the series from relation (1.1) is convergent. Because such operators are not suitable for approximating discontinuous functions, they are generalized to integral type operators. One of the usual techniques is known as Durrmeyer method [12] which leads us to an approximation process, say ${(L_{n}^{*})}_{n \geq 1}$ , in spaces of integrable functions.

This type of integral generalization, studied in depth for the first time in 1981 by Derriennic [7], has been constant in the attention of many researches, among the most recent papers is that of Abel and Karsli [1].

For each $n \in ℕ$ , let ${(μ_{n, k})}_{k \geq 1}$ be a sequence of continuous and positive functions defined on $ℝ_{+}$ such that the following relation is fulfilled

\int_{0}^{\infty} μ_{n, k} (t) 𝑑 t = 1, k \in ℕ .

(1.4)

Setting $I_{n, k} (f) = \int_{ℝ_{+}} μ_{n, k} (t) f (t) 𝑑 t$ , $k \in ℕ$ , we introduce the operators

(L_{n}^{*} f) (x) = λ_{n, 0} (x) f (0) + \sum_{k = 1}^{\infty} λ_{n, k} (x) I_{n, k} (f),

(1.5)

where $f \in ℱ (ℝ_{+})$ , this space consisting of all real valued functions $f$ defined on $ℝ_{+}$ with the property $λ_{n, k} f$ belongs to the Lebesgue space $L_{1} (ℝ_{+})$ for each $k \in ℕ$ and the series from the right hand side of relation (1.5) is convergent. Denoting by $C_{B} (ℝ_{+})$ the space of all continuous and bounded functions defined on $ℝ_{+}$ , it is clear that $C_{B} (ℝ_{+}) \subset ℱ (ℝ_{+})$ .

Remark 1.1.

We mention that identity (1.4) is not an essential requirement. It is only important that the integral exists and is finite. If

\int_{0}^{\infty} μ_{n, k} (t) 𝑑 t = c_{n, k},

where $c_{n, k} \in ℝ_{+}^{*}$ , $k \in ℕ$ , then we can define

I_{n, k} (f) = c_{n, k}^{- 1} \int_{0}^{\infty} μ_{n, k} (t) f (t) 𝑑 t,

and, this way, we reach the same operators $L_{n}^{*}$ given by (1.5).

It is obvious that $L_{n}^{*}$ , $n \in ℕ$ , operators are linear and positive. Moreover, relations (1.4) and (1.2) imply

L_{n}^{*} e_{0} = e_{0}, n \in ℕ .

(1.6)

This also gives a formula for the norm of the operators, $‖ L_{n}^{*} ‖ = 1$ .

To motivate the consistency of our study, our first concern is to highlight families of such operators that have already been studied. Next, some approximation properties of our general operators are revealed.

We point out that, alternatively, by using a two-dimensional kernel, the operators can be rewritten as follows

(L_{n}^{*} f) (x) = \int_{0}^{\infty} K_{n} (x, t) f (t) 𝑑 t,

where

K_{n} (x, t) = λ_{n, 0} (x) δ_{x} (t) + \sum_{k = 1}^{\infty} λ_{n, k} (x) μ_{n, k} (t),

$δ_{x} (t)$ being Dirac generalized function.

Finally we introduce the $j$ -th central moment of $L_{n}^{*}$ operators $(j \in ℕ_{0})$ , i.e.,

ℳ_{j} (L_{n}^{*}; x) = (L_{n}^{*} φ_{x}^{j}) (x), where φ_{x} (t) = t - x, (t, x) \in ℝ_{+} \times ℝ_{+} .

(1.7)

This can be accomplished by assuming that $e_{j} \in ℱ (ℝ_{+})$ .

2. Examples of particular cases of the operators $L_{n}^{*}$

The section includes three examples of known operators defined following the structure given by the relation (1.5).

1. Operators using Baskakov-Szász type bases. Choosing in (1.5)

λ_{n, k} (x) = (\binom{n + k - 1}{k}) x^{k} {(1 + x)}^{- n - k}, x \in [0, \infty), k \in ℕ_{0},

and

μ_{n, k} (t) = \frac{n}{k!} e^{- n t} {(n t)}^{k}, t \in [0, \infty), k \in ℕ,

the resulting operators (denoted by $M_{n}$ ) have been introduced in 2001 by Purshottam Agrawal and Ali Mohammad [4, Eq. (1.1)] in order to approximate a class of continuous functions of exponential growth. Their study was deepened by both the authors mentioned above [5] and by Gupta V., Gupta M.K. [13].

In this case, the conditions (1.2) and (1.4) are verified. Also, considering the network $x_{n, k} = k / n$ , $k \in ℕ_{0}$ , the relation (1.3) is fulfilled.

2. Szász-Mirakjan-Păltănea operators. The integral version we referred appeared in [18].

It depends on two parameters $α > 0$ , $ρ > 0$ . In this case we have

	$λ_{α, k} (x)$	$:= s_{α, k} (x) = e^{- α x} \frac{{(α x)}^{k}}{k!}, x \in [0, \infty), k \in ℕ_{0},$
	$μ_{α, k} (x)$	$:= θ_{α, k}^{ρ} (t) = \frac{α ρ^{k ρ}}{Γ (k ρ)} e^{- α ρ t} {(α t)}^{k ρ - 1}, t \in [0, \infty), k \in ℕ,$

and the class of operators is designed as follows

(L_{α}^{ρ} f) (x) = e^{- α x} f (0) + \sum_{k = 1}^{\infty} s_{α, k} (x) \int_{0}^{\infty} θ_{α, k}^{ρ} (t) f (t) 𝑑 t .

Both relations (1.2), (1.4) and relation (1.3) with $x_{n, k} = k / n$ , $k \in ℕ_{0}$ , are satisfied. Păltănea continued the study of these operators in [19]. Among the most recent papers that deepen the study of ${(L_{α}^{ρ})}_{α > 0}$ we mention [17].

3. Durrmeyer-Jain operators. Using a Poisson-type distribution with two parameters given by

w_{β} (k; α) = \frac{α}{k!} {(α + k β)}^{k - 1} e^{- (α + k β)}, k \in ℕ_{0},

for $α > 0$ and $β \in [0, 1)$ , Jain [14] introduced the following class of positive linear operators

(P_{n}^{[β]} f) (x) = \sum_{k = 0}^{\infty} w_{β} (k; n x) f (\frac{k}{n}), x \geq 0,

where $f \in C (ℝ_{+})$ whenever the above series is convergent. In [2] an extension in Durrmeyer sense of $P_{n}^{[β]}$ has been introduced, which was named $Λ_{n}^{[β]}$ . In this case, in (1.5) we choose as follows

λ_{n, k} (x) = w_{β} (k; n x), x \in [0, \infty), k \in ℕ_{0},

(2.1)

μ_{n, k} (t) = \frac{n}{1 - β} e^{- n t / (1 - β)} {(\frac{n t}{1 - β})}^{k - 1}, t \in [0, \infty), k \in ℕ .

(2.2)

Relations (1.2) and (1.4) take place but (1.3) fails. We get

P_{n}^{[β]} e_{1} = {(1 - β)}^{- 1} e_{1} .

For the special case $β = 0$ , $L_{n}^{*} \equiv Λ_{n}^{[0]}$ , $n \in ℕ$ , turn into Phillips operators [20]. Among the first papers in which the approximation properties of these operators were studied, we mention [16].

Remark 2.1.

The integral operators presented in Examples 2 and 3 enjoy the property of keeping the affine functions as fixed points. Relation (1.6) holds and it is easy to verify that $L_{α}^{ρ} e_{1} = Λ_{n}^{[β]} e_{1} = e_{1} .$

Inspired by this fact, for certain results that we will establish in the next section, we will impose the following condition to be fulfilled

\sum_{k = 1}^{\infty} λ_{n, k} I_{n, k} (e_{1}) = e_{1}, n \in ℕ .

(2.3)

This additional condition ensures the identity

ℳ_{2} (L_{n}^{*}; x) = (L_{n}^{*} e_{2}) (x) - x^{2}, x \geq 0,

(2.4)

and the quantity is strictly positive for $x > 0$ .

Remark 2.2.

Regarding the central moment of the second order for the operators presented above, we have the following relations

{\begin{matrix} ℳ_{2} (M_{n}; x) = \frac{x (x + 2)}{n}, ℳ_{2} (L_{α}^{ρ}; x) = \frac{ρ + 1}{α ρ} x, \\ ℳ_{2} (Λ_{n}^{[β]}; x) = \frac{1 + {(1 - β)}^{2}}{n (1 - β)} x, \end{matrix}

(2.5)

see respectively [4, Lemma 1], [19, Eq. (2.1)], [2, Eq. (15)].

3. Results

Remark 3.1.

For each $n \in ℕ$ , $L_{n}^{*}$ maps continuously $C_{B} (ℝ_{+})$ into itself. Indeed, for $f \in C_{B} (ℝ_{+})$ we get $| I_{n, k} (f) | \leq ‖ f ‖$ , $k \in ℕ_{0}$ , and based on relation (1.2), we deduce $‖ L_{n}^{*} f ‖ \leq ‖ f ‖$ , where $∥ \cdot ∥$ stands for the supremum norm on $ℝ_{+}$ .

Following the line of Ditzian and Totik [10, §1.2], we consider $φ : ℝ_{+} \to ℝ_{+}^{*}$ an admissible weight function. In order to give an estimate of the approximation error, we use the weighted $K$ -functional of second order $f \in C_{B} (ℝ_{+})$ defined as follows

K_{2, φ} (f, t) := inf_{g} {∥ f - g ∥ + t ∥ φ^{2} g^{''} ∥ : g^{'} \in A C_{l o c} (ℝ_{+})}, t > 0,

(3.1)

where $g^{'} \in A C_{l o c} (ℝ_{+})$ means that $g$ is differentiable and $g^{'}$ is absolutely continuous on every compact of $ℝ_{+}^{*}$ , [10, Eq. 2.1.1].

Theorem 3.2.

Let $L_{n}^{*}$ , $n \in ℕ$ , be defined by (1.5) such that (2.3) takes place. If $φ$ is an admissible function such that $φ^{2}$ is concave, then

| (L_{n}^{*} f) (x) - f (x) | \leq 2 K_{2, φ} (f, \frac{(L_{n}^{*} e_{2}) (x) - x^{2}}{2 φ^{2} (x)}), x > 0,

holds.

Proof. Let $x > 0$ be fixed and $g : ℝ_{+} \to ℝ$ be twice differentiable such that $g^{'} \in A C_{l o c} (ℝ_{+})$ . Starting from Taylor’s expansion

g (u) = g (x) + g^{'} (x) (u - x) + \int_{x}^{u} g^{''} (t) (u - t) 𝑑 t, u \geq 0,

and knowing that (2.3) holds, in other words $L_{n}^{*}$ reproduces linear functions, we have

(L_{n}^{*} g) (x) - g (x) = L_{n}^{*} (\int_{x e_{0}}^{e_{1}} g^{''} (t) (e_{1} - t) 𝑑 t, x) .

Since $φ^{2}$ is concave, for every $t = (1 - λ) u + λ x$ , $λ \in (0, 1)$ , we get

φ^{2} (t) \geq (1 - λ) φ^{2} (u) + λ φ^{2} (x) \geq λ φ^{2} (x) > 0,

and consequently

\frac{| t - u |}{φ^{2} (u)} = \frac{λ | x - u |}{φ^{2} (t)} \leq \frac{| x - u |}{φ^{2} (x)} .

It turns out that

	$\| \int_{x}^{u} g^{''} (u) (u - t) 𝑑 t \|$	$\leq ‖ φ^{2} g^{''} ‖ \| \int_{x}^{u} \frac{\| t - u \|}{φ^{2} (t)} 𝑑 t \|$
		$\leq ‖ φ^{2} g^{''} ‖ \| \int_{x}^{u} \frac{\| x - u \|}{φ^{2} (x)} 𝑑 t \|$
		$= ‖ φ^{2} g^{''} ‖ \frac{{(x - u)}^{2}}{φ^{2} (x)} .$

Applying the linear positive operator $L_{n}^{*}$ and taking into account (2.4), we get

L_{n}^{*} (\int_{x e_{0}}^{e_{1}} g^{''} (\cdot) (e_{1} - t) 𝑑 t; x) \leq ‖ φ^{2} g^{''} ‖ \frac{(L_{n}^{*} e_{2}) (x) - x^{2}}{φ^{2} (x)},

and further

	$\| (L_{n}^{*} f) (x) - f (x) \|$	$\leq \| L_{n}^{} (f - g; x) \| + \| g (x) - f (x) \| + \| (L_{n}^{} g) (x) - g (x) \|$
		$\leq 2 ‖ f - g ‖ + ‖ φ^{2} g^{''} ‖ \frac{(L_{n}^{*} e_{2}) (x) - x^{2}}{φ^{2} (x)} .$

In the above we used Remark 3.1. At this point, taking the infimum over all $g$ with $g^{'} \in A C_{l o c} (ℝ_{+})$ , based on (3.1), we get the desired result. $□$

In accordance with [10, Theorem 2.1.1], for some constants $M > 0$ and $t_{0}$ , the following inequality

K_{2, φ} (f, t) \leq M ω_{2, φ} {(f, \sqrt{t})}_{\infty}, 0 < t \leq t_{0},

takes place, where

ω_{2, φ} {(f, t)}_{\infty} = sup_{0 \leq h \leq t} sup_{x \pm h φ (x) \geq 0} | f (x - φ (x) h) - 2 f (x) + f (x + φ (x) h) | .

From Theorem 3.2 we deduce

Corollary 3.3.

Under the same assumptions of Theorem 3.2, the following inequality

| (L_{n}^{*} f) (x) - f (x) | \leq \tilde{M} ω_{2, φ} {(f; \frac{1}{φ (x)} \sqrt{(L_{n}^{*} e_{2}) (x) - x^{2}})}_{\infty}

holds, where $\tilde{M} > 0$ is a certain constant.

Examining relation (1.2), on the basis of Korovkin’s first theorem [15], we can state

Theorem 3.4.

Let $K \subset ℝ_{+}$ be a compact interval and $L_{n}^{*}$ , $n \in ℕ$ , be defined by (1.5) such that (2.3) takes place. If

lim_{n \to \infty} L_{n}^{*} e_{2} = e_{2} uniformly on K,

then

lim_{n \to \infty} L_{n}^{*} f = f uniformly on K,

provided $f \in C (ℝ_{+}) \cap ℱ (ℝ_{+})$ .

For investigating other properties of our sequence, we need the following technical result.

Lemma 3.5.

Let $L_{n}^{*}$ , $n \in ℕ$ , be defined by (1.5). For any constant $β \in (0, 1]$ and function $h : ℝ_{+} \to ℝ_{+}$ , the following inequality

(L_{n}^{*} h^{β}) (x) \leq λ_{n, 0} (x) h^{β} (0) + {((L_{n}^{*} h^{2}) (x))}^{β / 2}, x \geq 0,

(3.2)

takes place.

Proof. We use Hölder’s inequality both for integrals and for sums. Considering $r = 2 β^{- 1}$ in the relation $1 / r + 1 / s = 1$ , $r > 0$ , $s > 0$ , we can write

	$\int_{0}^{\infty} μ_{n, k} (t) h^{β} (t) 𝑑 t$	$\leq {(\int_{0}^{\infty} μ_{n, k} (t) 𝑑 t)}^{1 / s} {(\int_{0}^{\infty} μ_{n, k} (t) h^{2} (t) 𝑑 t)}^{1 / r}$
		$= I_{n, k}^{β / 2} (h^{2}) .$

Further,

	$\sum_{k = 1}^{\infty} λ_{n, k} (x) I_{n, k} (h^{β})$	$\leq {(\sum_{k = 1}^{\infty} λ_{n, k} (x))}^{1 / s} {(\sum_{k = 1}^{\infty} λ_{n, k} (x) I_{n, k} (h^{2}))}^{1 / r}$
		$= {(\sum_{k = 1}^{\infty} λ_{n, k} (x) I_{n, k} (h^{2}))}^{β / 2}$
		$= {((L_{n}^{} h^{2}) (x) - λ_{n, 0} (x) h^{2} (0))}^{β / 2} \leq {((L_{n}^{} h^{2}) (x))}^{β / 2}$

and the conclusion occurs. $□$

Next, we study the approximation properties for functions that are not necessarily bounded. We start with functions that satisfy a Hölder type condition with $β \in (0, 1]$ on $E \subseteq ℝ_{+}$ , more precisely functions $f : ℝ_{+} \to ℝ$ which verify the relation

| f (x) - f (y) | \leq C_{β, f} {| x - y |}^{β}, (x, y) \in ℝ_{+} \times E,

(3.3)

where $C_{β, f}$ is a positive constant depending only on $β$ and $f$ . Clearly, such functions belong to $ℱ (ℝ_{+})$ . For $β > 1$ relation (3.3) leads us to constant functions on $E$ , so we are not interested at this time.

We prove a relation between the local smoothness of functions and the local approximation.

Theorem 3.6.

Let $L_{n}^{*}$ , $n \in ℕ$ , be defined by (1.5). If $f$ satisfies relation (3.3), then

| (L_{n}^{*} f) (x) - f (x) | \leq C_{β, f} (λ_{n, 0} (x) x^{β} + ℳ_{2}^{β / 2} (L_{n}^{*}; x) + 2 d^{β} (x, E)),

(3.4)

$x \geq 0$ , where $ℳ_{2} (L_{n}^{*}; x)$ is given at (1.7) and $d (x, E)$ represents the distance between $x$ and $E$ .

Proof. It is clear that (3.3) holds for any $x \in ℝ_{+}$ and $y \in \bar{E}$ , the closure of $E$ in $ℝ$ . Let $(x, x_{0}) \in ℝ_{+} \times \bar{E}$ such that

| x - x_{0} | = d (x, E) := inf {| x - y | : y \in E} .

Since $| f - f (x) | \leq | f - f (x_{0}) | + | f (x_{0}) - f (x) |$ and $L_{n}^{*}$ is a linear positive operator satisfying (1.6), we can write

	$\| (L_{n}^{*} f) (x) - f (x) \|$	$\leq L_{n}^{*} (\| f - f (x_{0}) \|; x) + \| f (x) - f (x_{0}) \|$
		$\leq L_{n}^{*} (C_{β, f} {\| e_{1} - x_{0} \|}^{β}; x) + C_{β, f} {\| x - x_{0} \|}^{β} .$		(3.5)

On the other hand, choosing in (3.2) $h := | φ_{x} |$ , see (1.7), we deduce

L_{n}^{*} ({| e_{1} - x |}^{β}; x) \leq λ_{n, 0} (x) x^{β} + ℳ_{2}^{β / 2} (L_{n}^{*}; x) .

(3.6)

Based on the elemental inequality ${| t - x_{0} |}^{β} \leq {| t - x |}^{β} + {| x - x_{0} |}^{β}$ , $0 < β \leq 1$ , on the monotonicity property of the operator $L_{n}^{*}$ as well as on relations (3.6) and (1.6), we get

L_{n}^{*} ({| e_{1} - x_{0} |}^{β}; x) \leq λ_{n, 0} (x) x^{β} + ℳ_{2}^{β / 2} (L_{n}^{*}; x) + d^{β} (x, E) .

Returning at (3), the proof is complete. $□$

Remark 3.7.

In relation (3.4), in the particular cases $x \in \bar{E}$ and $E = ℝ_{+}^{*}$ , the term $d (x, E)$ vanishes.

Further, we discuss about the type of convergence of the sequence ${(L_{n}^{*} f)}_{n \geq 1}$ to the continuous function $f$ that it approximates. On compact intervals, if $f$ is continuous, the uniform convergence of ${(L_{n}^{*} f)}_{n \geq 1}$ to $f$ takes place, see Theorem 3.4. On unbounded intervals, if $f$ is continuous, usually only pointwise convergence occurs. We will indicate sufficient conditions which ensure the uniform convergence on unbounded intervals $J \subseteq ℝ_{+}$ . For discrete approximation processes such an approach can be found, for example, in [3]. Similar results have been obtained for a long time ago by Jésus de la Cal and Javier Cárcamo [6] for families of operators of probabilistic type over non-compact intervals. The authors used representation of the operators in terms of appropriate stochastic processes.

Set $U C (ℝ_{+})$ the space of all uniformly continuous real valued function on $ℝ_{+}$ . Let $τ : ℝ_{+} \to ℝ_{+}$ be a continuous one-to-one function such that $τ (0) = 0$ . We define the following two functions

f^{*} = f \circ τ^{- 1}, τ_{x} (t) = | τ (t) - τ (x) |, t \geq 0, x \geq 0,

(3.7)

where $f \in C_{B} (ℝ_{+})$ .

Theorem 3.8.

Let $L_{n}^{*}$ , $n \in ℕ$ , be defined by (1.5) such that $λ_{n, 0} (0) = 1$ and let the functions $τ_{x}$ , $f^{*}$ be given by (3.7).

If $f \in U C (ℝ_{+})$ and there are two sequence of positive real numbers, ${(γ_{1, n})}_{n \geq 1}$ , ${(γ_{2, n})}_{n \geq 1}$ that converge to zero satisfying the conditions

λ_{n, 0} (x) (1 + τ (x)) \leq γ_{1, n}, x \geq a,

(3.8)

L_{n}^{*} (τ_{x}; x) \leq γ_{2, n}, x \geq a,

(3.9)

for a certain $a \geq 0$ , then ${(L_{n}^{*} f)}_{n \geq 1}$ converges uniformly to $f$ on the interval $[a, \infty)$ .

Proof. The main tool used to motivate our statement is modulus of smoothness associated to any bounded function $g$ defined on $ℝ_{+}$ expressed by the following formula

ω (g; δ) = sup {| g (x^{'}) - g (x^{''}) | : x^{'}, x^{''} \in ℝ_{+}, | x^{'} - x^{''} | \leq δ}, δ \geq 0 .

(3.10)

Its most prominent properties can be found, e.g., in [8, p. 40-44]. We recall three of them, useful for our proof. The function $ω (g; \cdot)$ is nondecreasing,

ω (g; λ δ) \leq (1 + λ) ω (g; δ), δ \geq 0 and λ \geq 0,

(3.11)

and, if in addition $g$ is uniformly continuous on $ℝ_{+}$ , then

lim_{δ \to 0^{+}} ω (g; δ) = 0 .

(3.12)

We consider $x \geq a > 0$ arbitrarily fixed. Based on identities (1.5) and (3.10) we get

$\| (L_{n}^{*} f) (x) - f (x) \|$	$= \| L_{n}^{} (f^{} \circ τ; x) - f^{*} (τ (x)) \|$
	$\leq L_{n}^{} (\| f^{} \circ τ - f^{*} (τ (x)) \|; x)$
	$= λ_{n, 0} (x) \| f^{} (τ (0)) - f^{} (τ (x)) \|$
	$+ \sum_{k = 1}^{\infty} λ_{n, k} (x) I_{n, k} (f^{} \circ τ - f^{} (τ (x)))$
	$:= A_{x} + B_{x} .$	(3.13)

At first we evaluate $A_{x}$ . If $g$ is uniformly continuous function on $ℝ_{+}$ , then its growth on domain is at most affine, i.e., there exist $c_{0}, c_{1}$ positive constants such that $| g (t) | \leq c_{1} t + c_{0}$ for all $t \in ℝ_{+}$ , see, e.g., [9, p. 48, Problème 4] or [11]. Because $f^{*} \in U C (ℝ_{+})$ , in view of this result, we can write

A_{x} \leq λ_{n, 0} (x) (| f^{*} (0) | + | f^{*} (τ (x)) |) \leq \tilde{c} λ_{n, 0} (1 + τ (x)) \leq \tilde{c} γ_{1, n},

(3.14)

where $\tilde{c} = \max {2 c_{0}, c_{1}}$ . We also used relation (3.8).

Next we evaluate $B_{x}$ . Clearly, $(L_{n}^{*} τ_{x}) (x) > 0$ for $x \neq 0$ . The definition of modulus of smoothness and property (3.11) applied for

λ = | τ (t) - τ (x) | / (L_{n} τ_{x}) (x)

allow us to write

	$\| f^{} (τ (t)) - f^{} (τ (x)) \|$	$\leq ω (f^{*}; \| τ (t) - τ (x) \|)$
		$\leq (1 + \frac{τ_{x} (t)}{L_{n}^{} (τ_{x}; x)}) ω (f^{}; L_{n}^{*} (τ_{x}; x))$
		$\leq (1 + \frac{τ_{x} (t)}{L_{n}^{} (τ_{x}; x)}) ω (f^{}; γ_{2, n}) .$

In the above we also used the monotonicity of the function $ω (f^{*}; \cdot)$ as well as the hypothesis specified at (3.9). Since $f^{*}$ is bounded on the domain, consequently $ω (f^{*}; \cdot)$ is well defined. Thus, we have

B_{x} \leq (u_{1} (x) + \frac{u_{2} (x)}{L_{n}^{*} (τ_{x}; x)}) ω (f^{*}; γ_{2, n}) \leq 2 ω (f^{*}; γ_{2, n}),

(3.15)

where

{\begin{matrix} 0 \leq u_{1} (x) := 1 - λ_{n, 0} (x) \leq 1, \\ 0 \leq u_{2} (x) := L_{n}^{*} (τ_{x}, x) - τ_{x} (0) λ_{n, 0} (x) \leq L_{n}^{*} (τ_{x}, x) . \end{matrix}

Using the inequalities (3.14) and (3.15), relation (3) implies

| (L_{n}^{*} f) (x) - f (x) | \leq \tilde{c} γ_{1, n} + 2 ω (f^{*}; γ_{2, n}), x \geq a .

(3.16)

Relation $λ_{n, 0} (0) = 1$ corroborated with (1.2) implies $λ_{n, k} (0) = 0$ , $k \in ℕ$ , consequently $L_{n}^{*}$ enjoys the interpolating property in $x = 0$ . Thus, relation (3.16) is true in the particular case $a = 0$ as well.

Property (3.12) guarantees $ω (f^{*}; γ_{2, n})$ tends to zero as $n$ tends to infinity. Alongside (3.8), this statement leads to the completion of the proof. $□$

Example 3.9.

We apply Theorem 3.8 to Durrmeyer-Jain operators $Λ_{n}^{[β]}$ , $n \geq 1$ , where $β \in [0, 1)$ . Let us choose $a = 1$ and $τ (x) = \sqrt{x}$ . Taking in view (2.1) and (2.2), we can write

w_{β} (0; n x) (1 + \sqrt{x}) \leq \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}} := γ_{1, n}, x \geq 1,

and

	$Λ_{n}^{[β]} (τ_{x}; x)$	$= w_{β} (0; n x) \sqrt{x} + \sum_{k = 1}^{\infty} w_{β} (k; n x) \int_{0}^{\infty} μ_{n, k} (t) \frac{\| t - x \|}{\sqrt{t} + \sqrt{x}} 𝑑 t$
		$\leq \frac{1}{\sqrt{n}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}} ℳ_{2}^{1 / 2} (Λ_{n}^{[β]}; x) = \frac{1 + \tilde{β}}{\sqrt{n}}, x \geq 1,$

where $\tilde{β} = {(\frac{1 + {(1 - β)}^{2}}{1 - β})}^{1 / 2}$ , see (2.5).

The requirements of Theorem 3.8 being fulfilled, we deduce that ${(Λ_{n}^{[β]} f)}_{n \geq 1}$ converges uniformly to $f$ on $[1, \infty)$ for any $f \in U C (ℝ_{+})$ .

Concluding remark. The results presented in this section have a unifying character in the sense that they can be applied to several particular classes of operators. As a weak point we admit that these results are not as spectacular as the ones that could be obtained for each particular case.
